    Hi;

    I posted this to Moo-Calves, and did not get a solution, though I got some
    great suggestions.  If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.

    I have 8 'guests' on Moooise.  Three of them were created recently.
    These three get the following error when people try to use them, and no
    login takes place.  The other five function fine.

    #20:connection_hostname_bsd, line 3:  Type mismatch
    ... called from #20:connection_hostname, line 2
    ... called from #10:record_connection, line 8
    ... called from #10:co*nnect @co*nnect, line 65
    ... called from #0:do_login_command, line 20
    (End of traceback)

    I did for a while change the
    @setprop #32.home to #16 (an alternative home for guests with help
    information).  I have returned it to #16.

    Could this have done it?

    This is 1.7.9 version of LM, and I am working on upgrading the db, but it
    will take a while because the box that I'm on does not have a proper C
    compiler working since it was upgraded.

    Any suggestions as to how I might repair this, if I've indeed done it?

    TIA,

    Jason
